A day of books, laughter, and fun
It was another long day. Yes, a long day. But it was a fun day, too. Books and Boots got started with some opening remarks and then we moved into the panels for the day. These were great line ups. The moderators and audience members asked questions of the panelists – and there was some…

I’ve had a fairly long, busy day today. Thus, this is going to be a short entry. The day was spent getting things ready for Books and Boots, which is happening tomorrow. Then, we headed over to the hotel to meet up with the authors and other attendees. It was a lively group. There were…

Welcome to My NaBloPoMo Challenge
Happy November 1st, my friends! Well, it’s been two years since I participated in National Blog Posting Month. I’m not sure why I didn’t participate last year. Honestly, I was probably just too lazy. So, I decided that this year I would try it again. I believe the last few times I did this, I started…
